As the 2020 NHL Entry Draft approaches, we decided to examine each team’s best and worst pick since the 2000 NHL Entry Draft. The biggest boom is a player that had the best value relative to where they were selected. Meaning, no one in the first round will be considered a team’s best value pick. However, the biggest bust picks will almost always be in the first round. We will examine each player, why they were picked where they were, and what their NHL career was like. Today, we look at the New Jersey Devils draft, and their biggest boom and bust.

New Jersey Devils Biggest Draft Boom and Bust Since 2000
Here is a taste with one of the HMs
Mattias Tedenby
An honourable mention has to go to Mattias Tedenby. Entering the 2008 NHL Draft, Tedenby was ranked third amongst European skaters. He was a small but speedy Swedish winger that the Devils selected 24th overall that year. While he did show signs of some offensive flair his game never rounded into form in 120 NHL games. Not to mention his defensive game was very poor and the Devils did not want to wait for that part of his game to come around. He did not play for the Devils for long. After his rookie contract expired, Tedenby ended up making the move back to Sweden.
